Default The Real Hero of 911

Thre were a lot of heroes on 911. The thestandout hero of 911 was LTC (USAR) ret'd. Rick Rescora.Rick Rescorla was the head of security at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. Against the orders of the police, fire dep't and the port authority; Rescorla evacuated his folks from the South Tower of the WTC.

Rescorla stood up and did the right thing just as he did at Ia Drang, RVN 36 years earlier. Most folks never heard of Rescorla. It was not politically expedient to talk about the guy who disobeyed the orders of the "authorities": Never mind that he saved the lives of over 2,000 folks. All the Morgan Stanley employees got out of the South Tower except for Rescorla and a few others.

Rescorla was one of few Americanswho recognized thatthe Arab terrorists would beback.He hassled the port authority and NYC to beef up security, to no avail. Here is a short film shot of Rescorla.
